Brandine and Cletus are both stereotypical representatives of so-called “trailer trash.” Brandine and Cletus were married by Homer Simpson despite the fact that they are oft-insinuated to be related (siblings, cousins, each other's parents, and aunt/uncle), once noted when she said to Cletus, "You are the most wonderful husband, and son, I ever had," as well as when she complained they should kiss in front of her parents and Cletus said,"They's my parents too." It is also implied that she was divorced four times prior to her marriage to Cletus.

She once interviewed for a job as a stripper, although she refused to wear the combat boots that her husband had found, stating she did not want to scuff the topless dancing runway. She, along with Cletus, is claustrophobic and won't go up elevators. She also has apparently worked at Dairy Queen at some point, which she referenced in refusing to wear a shirt Cletus gave her, citing she had to wear “the shirt what Dairy Queen gave me”. It was shown that Brandine was in Iraq, fighting in the Iraq War. She came back to stop Cletus’ exploitation of their children, and to tell him that he was only the father of the two untalented kids, casting doubt over the paternity of the 38 other Spuckler children. She once was briefly under consideration as a foster mother to the Simpson children.
